- Karnataka’s highly ambitious, much-awaited Yettinahole Integrated Drinking Water Supply Project was inaugurated on September 6 by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar.
The project was launched in 2014 when the Congress government was in power. It proposes to ease the drinking water woes of nearly 75 lakh people in drought-prone Kolar, Chickballapur, Ramanagara, Tumakuru, Bengaluru Rural, Chikkamagaluru and Hassan districts.
However there have been concerns expressed over the actual availability of water as well as the environmental impact of the project.
Let’s do a deep dive into these issues with Satish GT, The Hindu’s Senior Assistant Editor. #karnataka #Yettinahole #siddaramaiah #congress

This exact project proved to me that EIA is a big scam in India.
It's just a lengthy process document to prove that the construction/development is not creating any harm to the environment by giving alternative options to cover up the damages.
Who guarantees the continuous rainfall in the 4 months of monsoon season in future?
Who supplies the drinking water to the coastal towns which faced the severity of water scarcity and the feel of scorching heat last summer?
Do they need to desalinate the sea water just because they are near the coast?
What about the agriculturalists; who are entirely dependent on these catchments?
Instead of investing so much money, energy, resources to lift the water to the high altitude regions, can't the government strengthen the urban infrastructures in terms of water catchment, conservation efforts and make the towns/cities self sustainable?
How much time do we need to understand that the solution for a problem is not always looking for somewhere else but at the root cause itself?

Isn't Canals and plenty of small dams across the city a better option?
This can solve the flooding problems and easy rain water harvesting. Just like in Netherlands, Japan and UK.
@@anjaliwagle6320I'm from sakleshpura, you may be from somewhere else , monsoon water that flows westwards is being used, to win some you have to lose some.
Mandated rainwater harvesting for all new-builds and state and national investment in desalination plants. Just an idea.
Anyone who has traveled across coastal Karnataka will notice that the amount of freshwater that is flowing into Arabian sea is humungous. If some of that water is diverted for drinking water purposes in arid areas then its a noble act.. Ofcourse the environment damage should be minimised but such projects shouldn't be stopped at all.
Don't play with nature. You guys will never learn. And when natural disasters happen you guys will cry . Pathetic.
Landslides occurred all along the national highway in sakleshpura, it happened because of excessive rain in a very short period. There's also a political propaganda at play here , coastal Karnataka is bjp belt and this is a Congress govt project suddenly bjp has become pro environmentalists but the same coastal Karnataka people want 4 lane expansion of national highway piercing through the western ghats and call it materstroke of modi😅
Even iisc has done a clear research and had concluded that nethravathi diversion is an unscientific project and is bound to fail.
Western ghats are highly sensitive.
The Fifth Element
I pray this projecy fails. Hope nature reclaims and Triumphs
Congres Government works for the people, whereas NDA government works for few corporate individuals.
This project not only helpful to 75 lakhs people, farmers etc.,it will also create more jobs and revenue.
We have seen who stopped Narmada sarovar dam in past.
So its better to be shut up
The project did not happen only in congress time under BJP also work has made
